FBI releases Steve Jobs' background check: What's inside

Steve Jobs' background check with the FBI has just been released under a Freedom of Information Act request. Jobs was being considered by the George H. W. Bush administration for a position in the President's Export Council.

The background check was done because Jobs was being considered for the U.S. President's Export Council, a group of industry and business leaders who offer advise and expertise on how best to promote exports, according to the White House.

While most of the text is bureaucracy and jargon baffling to most, the background check offers a fascinating insight into what Steve Jobs was like, who he was like as a man, and even his views on politics and his fellow person.

You can also take a read for yourself. The document is hosted by the FBI. Below are the details of his background check with the bureaucracy removed.
